Jul 20 07:05:34 lxmaier	and also discussed opportunities for Ambassador event training
Jul 20 07:06:20 lxmaier	where an experienced event organizer will be organizing an event and a few "newbies" will be helping and thus learning from the "pro"
Jul 20 07:06:52 lxmaier	then they will go and be all experienced themselves and can teach others how to organize events
Jul 20 07:06:59 lxmaier	kind of viral education :)

Jul 20 07:13:12 tchung	EOF
Jul 20 07:13:20 *	ChitleshGoorah (i=kimblee@fedora/ChitleshGoorah) has joined #fedora-mktg
Jul 20 07:13:37 ChitleshGoorah	sorry for lateness, i dont have a proper connection
Jul 20 07:13:38 GeroldKa	you´re late Mister Mauritius
Jul 20 07:13:56 ChitleshGoorah	where are we ?
Jul 20 07:14:15 tchung	We just finished Project Reports.
Jul 20 07:14:40 lxmaier	alright. ChitleshGoorah do you have anything to report on your current activities?
Jul 20 07:14:47 ChitleshGoorah	yes,
Jul 20 07:14:55 ChitleshGoorah	and some questions too
Jul 20 07:14:58 lxmaier	then go ahead pls
Jul 20 07:15:36 ChitleshGoorah	you know that i have an event soon, and i took the opportunity to make a general presentation document
Jul 20 07:15:50 ChitleshGoorah	perhaps useful to other ambassadors as well
Jul 20 07:16:23 ChitleshGoorah	ill try to add as much as i can, till now, i have 56 slides (moster slides)
Jul 20 07:16:27 ChitleshGoorah	monster
Jul 20 07:17:02 ChitleshGoorah	with DianaFong's pictures (on her blog), i was able to make an interesting story
Jul 20 07:17:13 ChitleshGoorah	to describe the fedora project
Jul 20 07:17:21 GeroldKa	?
Jul 20 07:17:24 ChitleshGoorah	yet, its not complete
Jul 20 07:17:39 GeroldKa	which language ChitleshGoorah? French or english?
Jul 20 07:17:46 ChitleshGoorah	english
Jul 20 07:17:59 GeroldKa	+2; thanks
Jul 20 07:18:36 ChitleshGoorah	but my question is how far can i use diana's pictures in terms of "protected" logo (i haven't follow the FAB discussions lately) ?
Jul 20 07:18:45 ChitleshGoorah	though she is in FedoraArtwork
Jul 20 07:19:47 ChitleshGoorah	secondly, gerold can i use your picture, since you have a t-shirt with "I am Fedora" ? Im using it to describe who are the fedorepeople
Jul 20 07:19:50 ChitleshGoorah	?
Jul 20 07:19:58 mspevack	while it is not the ideal solution (meaning more work is needed with legal)
Jul 20 07:20:05 mspevack	for now, I would say use them, and attribute them to Diana
Jul 20 07:20:38 mspevack	Fedora Board needs to do more work with Red Hat legal, but I don't want that to stop you from what is a legitimate use of the picture
Jul 20 07:20:47 ChitleshGoorah	im also using some hackergotchies from fedoraproject.org/people/heads, hope noone mind ?
Jul 20 07:21:13 *	mspevack doesn't mind
Jul 20 07:21:15 ChitleshGoorah	ill think ill finish it tomorow and post it in the marketing mailing list
Jul 20 07:21:42 ChitleshGoorah	hence you can review it if you want :)
Jul 20 07:21:50 lxmaier	great
Jul 20 07:22:10 lxmaier	okay ChitleshGoorah, is this all?
Jul 20 07:22:11 ChitleshGoorah	soorry about last week, i had a plane to catch a GeroldKa said :)

Jul 20 07:22:19 lxmaier	wonderfull.
Jul 20 07:22:33 lxmaier	my keyboard suck big time
Jul 20 07:22:48 tchung	:)
Jul 20 07:22:57 lxmaier	okay, let's talk about iWolf's Ohio Linux Fest
Jul 20 07:23:06 iWolf	:)
Jul 20 07:23:06 lxmaier	iWolf: where do you stand, pls?
Jul 20 07:23:24 iWolf	I submitted the sponsorship application for a $75 table last night.
Jul 20 07:23:33 iWolf	And submitted the materials request through the form.
